Hello Everyone,
Im almost afraid to get my hopes up, but I called and left a Message at Animal Protection in Memphis (thanks to YaYas Mom). When I pressed the button in regard to spaying, the recording said they are a non profit organization that (considering your income) will spay domestics for $10 and there is NO fee for ferrals. I havent received a call back yet, but I will be persistant on this one even more as my husband has began talking about "rounding them all up and taking them to a shelter". Although Memphis is an hour away, I am so desperate that it would be well worth it to me to round them up, take the trek and get them all taken care of. Although my husband has an aversion to these cats, I think he would even help me do that at this point !
My old granny cat that was giving birth on the 7th, well she had SIX kittens !! Poor ole granny. Last night it dipped below freezing and I was so concerned about the new babies. I put heated blankets in their box and slid the box under our enclosed porch (where we usually fed them all)....put some rice socks in there, put a rocker chair over the top of the box and piled it will rugs. I did all I could and with prayer they made it through the night.
I know that I am going to have to find homes for those six and Im planning on doing it as soon as they are weaned BEFORE they have chance to become wild. I also have at least three of the 4 months old I need to find homes for also. I was playing with them yesterday and I do believe they can be domesticated. I think 3 of the 5 that were born are males (everyone chuckles at me here when they see me going around picking up cat's tails)
Ill keep you all posted on the outsome!
